ement certainly can't be fulfilled, but we can't let Simon's family know he died at our hands."At this point, Golia had completely calmed down and simply stated her thoughts.Goliaths' father, Rode, no..."I am a failure. I barely notice whether the sun is shining or not because I don't have time."

"My parents are unable to support me, and my education level is not high. I am alone in the city, searching for the future."

I applied for many jobs, but I wasn't hired. Perhaps it's because no one likes someone who is not good at speaking, doesn't like to socialize, and hasn't shown enough ability.

I went for three whole days on only two pieces of bread. Hunger kept me awake at night. Luckily, I had paid a month's rent in advance, so I could still stay in that dark basement and avoid the unusually harsh winter wind outside.

Finally, I found a job, working the night shift at the hospital, guarding the morgue.

The night at the hospital was colder than I expected. The corridor lights were off, and everything was dim. I could only see my feet by the faint light seeping out from the rooms.

The smell there was awful, and from time to time, corpses stuffed in body bags would arrive. We'd help move them into the morgue.

“This isn't a good job, but at least it lets me afford bread. I can use my free time at night to study. After all, not many people want to come to the morgue unless there's a body to be brought in or taken out for cremation. Of course, I don't have enough money to buy books yet and I don't see a way to save up anytime soon.”

I have to thank my former colleague. If he hadn't suddenly quit, I probably wouldn't even have gotten this job.

I dream of being able to switch shifts and work during the day. Right now, I sleep when the sun is out and wake up when night falls, which has made my body a little weak, and my head occasionally aches.

One day, the movers brought in a new corpse.

"According to others, this is my former colleague who suddenly quit."

I was a little curious about him. After everyone left, I pulled out the drawer and quietly opened the body bag.

He was an old man, his face green and white, covered in wrinkles. Under the very dim lighting, he looked quite frightening.

He had little hair left, mostly white. He was completely stripped naked, not even a shred of cloth remained on him.

I saw a strange mark on his chest, dark blue-black. I couldn't describe its shape; the lighting was just too dim at the time.

I reached out and touched the mark. It wasn't anything special.

Looking at this former colleague of mine, I was thinking, if I keep going like this, when I get old, will I be just like him…

I told him that I would accompany him to the crematorium tomorrow, and personally take his ashes to the nearest free cemetery. That way, those people in charge wouldn't have to bother, just tossing them into a river or some wasteland out of convenience.

This will cost me a morning's sleep, but luckily, it's Sunday soon and I can make it up.

After saying that, I got the body bag ready and put it back in the closet.

The lights in the room seemed dimmer...

After that day, every time I slept, I would always dream of a thick fog.

“I have a premonition that something will happen soon, a feeling that something unknown, perhaps not even human, will come looking for me. But no one believes me. They think that in this kind of environment and doing this kind of work, my mental state has become unstable and I need to see a doctor…”

A male patron at the bar looked towards the storyteller who had suddenly stopped.

"What then"

This male guest was in his thirties, wearing a brown tweed jacket and light yellow trousers. His hair was slicked back, and he had a simple, dark-colored round top hat in his hand.

He looked ordinary, much like most of the people in the tavern. He had black hair and light blue eyes, neither unattractive nor handsome; he simply lacked any distinctive features.

And in his eyes, the storyteller was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man, tall and lanky, with short black hair and light blue eyes. But his features were deep, able to catch one's eye at first glance.

This young man gazed at the empty wine glass before him, and sighed.

Then

Then I quit my job and moved back to the countryside, here to BS with you.

As he spoke, a smile crept onto his face, one that held a hint of malice.

The male guest was taken aback.

"Were you just bragging"

"Haha." A burst of laughter erupted around the bar.

After a pause in the laughter, a thin middle-aged man looked at the slightly embarrassed guests and said:

"You, an outsider, would actually believe Lumian's stories He changes his tale every day. Yesterday he was a poor wretch whose fiancee broke off the engagement. Today, he claims to be a mortician!"

"Yeah, saying thirty years on the east bank of the River Selenz and thirty years on the west bank, he's just rambling!" another regular at the tavern chimed in.

They are all farmers from the large village of Kordu, wearing short shirts that are either black, gray, or brown.

The young man with black hair, called Lumiar, propped himself up on the bar with both hands and slowly stood up, smiling. "

"As you know, this isn't a story I made up, it was written by my sister. She loves writing stories and is even a columnist for something called 'Novel Weekly'."

After finishing his words, he leaned to the side, gesturing with his hand toward the visitor, and flashed a dazzling smile:

"It seems she writes really well. Starwen Reading App

"

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding."

The ordinary-looking man in a brown tweed jacket didn't get angry. He stood up, smiling and replying:

An interesting story.

What's your name

"Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking someone else something" Luman laughed.

The visitor from afar nodded.

My name is Ryan Cosse.

“These two are my companions, Valentine and Lyra.”

The following sentence refers to a man and a woman sitting right next to each other. Star Wen Reading App

He was a man in his late twenties or early thirties, with yellow hair streaked with a touch of pink. His eyes, not particularly large, were a shade deeper than lake blue. He wore a white waistcoat, a navy blue tweed jacket and black trousers; it was clear he had taken some time to dress carefully before leaving the house.

He looked rather cold and aloof, not paying much attention to the surrounding farmers and shepherds.

That woman looked younger than the two men. She had long, pale gray hair styled into a complex updo, topped with a white veil as a hat.

Her eyes, the same color as her hair, looked at Lumian with undisguised amusement. She seemed to find what just happened rather entertaining.

Beneath the warm glow of the pub's gaslights, a woman named Lyra revealed a pert nose and lips of graceful curvature. In a rural village like Colordu, she was undoubtedly a beauty.

She wore a white, smooth cashmere bodycon dress, paired with a light beige short jacket and a pair of Marsailles boots. There were two silver bells hanging separately on the veil and boots, jingling all the way as she entered the tavern just now. It was very eye-catching, making many men stare straight at her.

In their eyes, this must be the kind of fashionable attire one would expect to see in a provincial capital like Gl or even the larger city of Trtir.

Luminar nodded to the three strangers.

"My name is Lu Mian Li, you can call me Lu Mian."

"Lee" Lyra blurted out.

"What's wrong Is there something wrong with my last name" Lumian asked curiously.

Ryan Cos. helped Lyria explain:

"Your last name is intimidating, I almost couldn't control my voice just now."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the surrounding farmers and herdsmen, he went on to explain further:

Those who have come into contact with sailors and seafarers all know that there is a saying circulating above the Five Seas:

I'd rather face pirate generals or even kings than run into someone named Frank Lee.

"That person's last name is also Li."

"Is he scary" Lumin asked.

Ryan shook his head.

I don't know, but since there are such legends, it definitely won't be bad.

He changed the subject, turning to Lumian and saying:

"Thank you for your story, it deserves a drink. What would you like"

"A cup of 'Green Fairy,' please." Lucian wasn't at all hesitant, and sat back down again.

Ryan Kos readjusted his glasses, frowning slightly: "The Stargate app"

"The Green Fairy... Absinthe"

"I think I need to remind you that absinthe is harmful to the human body, this drink can potentially lead to mental confusion and hallucinations."

"I didn't expect Terrill's trend to have spread this far," Lya said with a smile, adding to the sentence.

Lumians said, "Oh."

"It turns out that people from Trier also like to drink 'Green Fairy'...

"

"Life is already hard enough for us, there's no need to worry about a little more pain. This drink can help our spirits relax even more."

"Okay." Ryan sat back down and looked at the bartender, "One Green Fairy, and another one with a kick."

"Spicy Heart" is a famous fruit soju.

"Why don't I get a 'Green Fairy' too It was me who told you the truth just now, and I can tell you everything about this kid!" The thin middle-aged man who first exposed Lumians daily storytelling shouted indignantly, "Outsiders, I can see that you still doubt the truth of that story!"

“Pierre, you’d do anything for a free drink!” Lumian replied loudly.

Before Ryan could make a decision, Lumian added:

"Why can't I be the one to tell it, then I could have another 'Green Fairy'"

"Because the situation you described, they don't know whether to believe it," Pierre's middle-aged man said with a smug smile. "Your sister loves telling children stories like 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf,' always lying people will inevitably lose their credibility."

"Alright." Luminian shrugged, watching the bartender slide a pale green drink towards him.

Ryan looked at him, inquiringly:

Can I

"No problem, as long as your wallet can afford the cost of these drinks," Lumiian said nonchalantly.

"Then another 'Green Fairy' please." Ryan nodded.

Pierre was beaming.

"That generous outsider, this boy is the biggest prankster in the village. You must stay away from him."

Five years ago, he was brought back to the village by his elder sister, Aurol. He never left since then. Think about it, before that, he was only thirteen years old. How could he possibly go to a hospital as a mortician Well, the nearest hospital to us is in Dalre, down in the mountains. It takes a whole afternoon just to get there.

"Take it back to the village" Lyra asked sharply.

She tilted her head slightly, making a jingling sound.

Pierre nodded.

Then, he followed Orall named ‘Li’, and even his name 'Lumians' was given by Orall.

"I can't even remember what it was originally called." Lumian took a sip of his bitter wine and said with a chuckle.

It seems he doesn't feel ashamed or embarrassed at all about his past being exposed like this. After a long period of unconsciousness, Shiyu suddenly sat up from the bed.

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment, a surge of various emotions overwhelmed my heart.

What is this

Subsequently, Shi Yu unconsciously observed his surroundings, and became even more confused.

A single room

Even if he managed to get rescued, he should be in the hospital now.

...and my own body...how could it be completely unharmed.

With a puzzled look, Shiyu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally settling on a mirror on the bedside table.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was very handsome.

The problem is, this isn't him! Download the Xingxing Reading app to read the latest chapters ad-free and for free.

The person I was before, was a handsome young man in his twenties with an impressive presence. He had been working for a while.

And now, this appearance looks like just a high school student's age...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him the surgery was a success...

His body and appearance had completely changed. This wasn't simply a matter of surgery or not; it was clearly the work of sorcery.

He had completely transformed into a different person!

Could it be... that I've traveled through time

Apart from the mirror at the head of the bed, whose placement was clearly bad feng shui, Shiyu also found three books beside it.

Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The book title instantly made him silent.you after the report is finished.""Here another body was found, already turned to white bone. You've got your work cut out for you again."Zhao Fengnian said.I will submit the report as soon as possibl...
